Siemens' latest high-end scanner, which takes our unmatched Dual Source technology to a whole new level, is the SOMATOM Definition Flash - a scanner that will change your perceptions of radiation dose.	Available at our Westmead practice. The SOMATOM Definition™ Flash was designed specifically to make CT exams much healthier for your patients. Its core innovation - the revolutionary Flash Spiral - can be summarized in 4 words: Flash speed. Lowest dose. Split-second thorax Scanning the thorax, including the heart, needs 0.6 s, taking the burden of breath holding off the patient and allowing functional imaging for body regions up to 48 cm. Sub-mSv heart Temporal resolution of 75 ms and scan speed of up to 43 cm/s make heart scanning without beta-blockers possible and for the first time breath hold optional with dose levels below 1 mSv. Single-dose Dual Energy With the Selective Photon Shield, Dual Energy scans are now dose neutral. Together with dramatically increased energy separation and a wide range of FDA-cleared applications, it's now perfect for routine clinical use. Organ-sensitive dose protection The SOMATOM Definition Flash prevents clinically irrelevant dose for spiral examinations and introduces for the first time organ-sensitive dose protection. >> See how we're helping to improve patient care with the SOMATOM Definition Flash.
